PPV is pretty much dead for boxing. UFC is the only sport that really does well on PPV because they are similar to WWE people pay for the Company and Brand of UFC and push the fighters well in social media and youtube so fans develop a bond and pick which personality they like.
Boxing has failed to do this in the social media era. Before it was actually easier to get more fans to boxing because there was no internet, and fans were forced to buy PPV and watched more TV so they would see boxing promoted on HBO, or ESPN or in the Newspaper
Yeah just way too much going on that Night and I'm not talking about in boxing I'm talking about College Football I think USC vs Utah was on at the same time which was a great game, may have been Baseball Playoffs on as well
Wilder vs Ruiz does much bigger numbers nothing to panic about but now is the time for Boxing to be concerned, the Future is not looking great for this sport and it is the Powers That Be fault. Greed is crippling this sport and is burying itself

I think PPV has become so diluted that the days of 700k+ buys might be over with. Nobody seems to be "crossing over" like Floyd, Pac, etc, even Canelo cant consistently hit a million. I know some outlets reported 1.3 million for Canelo-GGG III but I dont believe it......
